Action of the knights.

PITTsBURG, MAY 21-The report comes
from reliable sources that Grand Master
Workman Powderly has addressed an official
circular TO the leaders of the Knights of La
bor organization in the coke region declaring
the present strike to be- Illegal, and orders the
men back 10 work This circular has been in
the hands of the knights in the coke regions
tor several days, but the strikers have paid
no attention TO it, and the presence of Will
lam H. Bailey. of the Knights of Labor ex-
ecutive hoard, will probably be necessary to
secure its enforcement
1t is also reported that some of the officials
of the labor organizations are blamed for the
riot FRIDAY morning. 1t is said that they adj
vorated such a movement on the part of the
strikers. The riot is likely to result in whole
sale arrests in which the ring leaders will be
specially ferreted out.
The riot referred to took place in the coke
yard at Jmtown, Pa, and was caused by an
attempt on the part of the operators to save
the coke now i'll the ovens, 81, 600 tons of coke
worth S52,00o, being burned up. The coal
miners. coal haulers and oven workers have
all been paid for filling the ovens, but the
strikers refused to allow anybody to draw the
coke and save II from total loss At Jimtowl
about twenty men were engaged in saving the
coke when they were set upon by about 31t
Hungarian and Negro strikers and driven off
| Several Of the men were badly beaten and one
had both arms broken. The tools at the yard
We're all DESTROYED
The mob then went to the works of James
| Cochran a Sons. Here the Cochran sons and
a few other men were drawing the coke and
were furiously assaulted but saved them
| selves by precipitate flight Fifteen shots
Were fired at one of the young Cochrans and
he had narrow escape. The TOOLS barrows
